A desktop geographic information system (GIS) can assist natural resource professionals and
biologists in making decisions and conducting analysis of wildlife habitat. This course gives participants the additional skills necessary to apply GIS technology to habitat analysis and management solutions. The course uses case study approaches to cover such topics as planning distribution of forage, calculating edge, modeling population dynamics, analyzing impacts, locating critical habitat, and monitoring change. Natural resource professionals emerge from this course with enhanced skills in the use of GIS software for wildlife habitat management applications. |
